Sorry for past days’ posting delays. I’ve not discussed this before, but recently my father has been very ill and undergone many hospitalizations and surgeries. I’ve been trying to divide my time between the website and his care. I will be out of town visiting him beginning Wednesday November 26th and returning home Thursday December 4th. I plan to keep DHD coverage as up to date as possible with special attention paid to the holiday box office. Please do not hesitate to contact me by email or by phone during this time. The best way to communicate with me will be deadlinehollywood@gmail.com or my private email if you have it. You can also leave a phone message for me or call my cell phone number. Thank you in advance for understanding. With your help, I will try my best to keep the website going.

Family comes first.

Take care of yourself, Nikki. My thoughts are with you and father. Please take all the time you need away from your blog. Your massive and loyal audience will wait.
Sorry to hear about your father, Nikki. Best wishes you and your family. We are praying for you.
Take care of the important things, Hollywood will still be here when your family is taken care of!
Will be thinking good thoughts and hope that your father recovers soon. Take the time you need to take care of your family. What we do is so insignificant in the scheme of themes. Thanks for all you do, Nikki. All the best to you and yours.
Priorities, Nikki. You’ll be missed by us, but you know where you’re needed most.
Godspeed.
Nikki, you have your priorities in order. Your Dad is a much higher priority than Hollywood. My prayers for his recovery.
Hope he gets better and all goes well. Our prayers are with you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your father, Nikki. Thanks for your continuing efforts on the site. Best of luck with it, and have a Happy Thanksgiving. Things will get better.

I wish you all the best.
A Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Best wishes on your dad’s safe and speedy recovery.
From your posting patterns Nikki I was a little worried that you yourself might be feeling under the weather and while I’m glad to hear you’re okay I can empathize with having an ill parent and send my best wishes to you to pass onto him.
Take good care of him and yourself…we’ll all still be here when you get back
Hope your dad gets better! Will be thinking good thoughts. Happy Thanksgiving.
Nikki – our best to your father and we will all be here waiting when you are ready to come back to us.

first the rest of us can wait. Hang in there.
Nikki, I’ve been reading your blog for almost 2 years now but only recently decided to start posting comments. You will be missed but I understand the gravity of the situation and will be praying for your father and family over the holidays. God Bless and have a happy Thanksgiving.
Nikki, I’m sorry to hear about your dad. Please take all the time you need to do what’s genuinely important. Strikewatch ’08 can wait.

And on this Thanksgiving I am thankful that even my online source of Hollywood news has better things to do… because family and friends are so much more important than our petty little industry. Let us not forget that!
You’ve got the right priorities Nikki. All the best for you and your family.
